$\begingroup$ Taken directly from What are the differences between Climatology, Meteorology and Atmospheric Science?.Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, generally in the short term - the time frame is seconds-weeks. Climatology studies the evolution of the atmosphere over long timescales, including how it may be changing - the time frame is months-decades. ... $\endgroup$– FredSep 17, 2020 at 10:16

1$\begingroup$ ... Meteorology is about weather now, last week & next week. Climatology is about weather typical conditions over a long time. $\endgroup$– FredSep 17, 2020 at 10:16

$\begingroup$ I think both are terms that might not be suitable for a five year old. However, one could try to explain the difference between weather and climate. Weather being the state of the atmosphere at a particular location and a particular time (it's sunny in our garden with a temperature of 20°C, supposing your garden is not huge) and climate being the average weather over a long period, usually 30 years, at a particular place OR region (the average annual (or any time frame) temperature in your City/Country is X°C). $\endgroup$– Joscha FreginSep 17, 2020 at 13:31
